En savoir plus sur le livre
Among twentieth century artists, Frantisek Vizner (b.1936) has defined the meaning of classicism as it applies to art made in glass, a medium much more prone to exageration and Baroque affectation. Beginning in Czechoslovakia in the 1960s and continuing to the present moment in the Czech Republic, he has created a series of vessels that are among the most perfect objects ever made by human hands. The restrained shapes of Vizner's vessels are achieved by a sometimes brutal, sometimes delicate array of room temperature technical processes, most of which are traditional to glassmaking, but some of which would be equally at home in a quarry. He makes a drawing. He selects a raw block of solid glass. He rough shapes that block with grinding stones, diamond tools, drilling and boring technology.
